Foundation Operations and Management Report

The premier benchmarking resource for foundations with few or no staff.

The 2018 edition of our flagship report includes mission-critical statistics about member foundations’ boards and governance, investments, administration, and grantmaking. It also includes the latest benchmarking data on salary and benefits.

About the Report

The 2018 Foundation Operations and Management Report is based on the 17th operations and management survey of members of Exponent Philanthropy that was fielded in summer 2017.

About the Survey

The Foundation Operations and Management Report is based on our annual survey, open to our nearly 2,000 members, which creates a unique benchmarking tool that tells the powerful story of small-staffed foundation philanthropy in the United States.
